Happy Halloween

On Friday we finished off our first term in school with a Halloween treat. We watched a DVD and thanks to Anna and Mya there was a Halloween biscuit for everyone. 

Bird Talk

After completing our Birds of Ireland project we were lucky that Jez who is a bird watcher was able to come in and talk to us. He gave us tips on the equipment needed to be a birdwatcher. He also taught us how to identify 10 birds that can be found around Ireland. We even got an opportunity to do some bird spotting in the school yard with his telescope. It was a very enjoyable afternoon. 

Listening intently to Jez

We worked with our partner on a quiz to identify the birds.

First Class joined us and had a go at the quiz as well.

We went outside Bird Spotting. 

We had to be quick as the birds didn't sit still for very long. 

Our Birds of Ireland projects

Jez judged our projects. He was very impressed with all of them. Well Done to the three winners.

Final Day of Maths Week

 Our week long celebration of maths culminated on Friday with a Maths Table Quiz and more team maths games. We wish every week was Maths Week!

Maths Trail

On Wednesday we went on a maths trail around the school grounds. The children were asked to find different lines in the school yard. They also had to find different angles, shapes and  objects of particular lengths.
